Online Community Best Practices

Who has access to the Alumni Online Community? 

Access to the Alumni Online Community is given automatically to all Scranton alumni, and students who have entered their junior year. Underclassmen, faculty and staff may request an account by contacting the Office of Alumni Relations at alumni@scranton.edu.

Who is included in the Online Alumni Directory?

Over 43,000 graduates of the University are included in the online directory.  Contact information for each alumnus is updated regularly.

I don't have my username/password. How do I log in?

If you have not yet registered, please visit the First Time Login page and follow the prompts. If you have forgotten your username or password, please e-mail your full name and class year to alumni@scranton.edu and our office will respond to your request during regular business hours.

Who can see my personal information?

The privacy of your personal information is our top priority. Only you can access and update your personal profile, and only alumni and students can view the Alumni Directory information. Through your personal profile, you can limit what information appears in the online directory.

How do I limit the information in my profile? How do I not show up in search results? 

To limit the information seen by other, find you name in the online directory.  You can edit or delete content by clicking the pencil edit icon to modify any of the Content you have added, or use the red X to remove the content. To completely remove your name in the search results, please e-mail alumni@scranton.edu or call 1-800-SCRANTON.

What can I use the Online Community for?

The Online Community is a tool to help you network with alumni.  You can use the online directory to find alumni working in your field, location or employer of interest. 

How do I search for alumni working in a particular city or company?

Go to the Online Directory.  Then select Search the directory.  Click on Advanced Search to show you more search options. Enter your criteria.  Click Search.  
Note: When looking for a city or employer you may need to enter multiple spellings to yield the best results.  For example: City name could be NY or New York, company names could be Proctor and Gamble or P&G.  Also, before contacting an alumnus it is best to confirm their contact information, title and employer by researching their present employer.
